1993 年出生于伦敦,现在她在这里生活和工作。她于 2015 年毕业于伦敦斯莱德艺术学院,获得学士学位,2017 年毕业于伦敦皇家艺术学院,获得硕士学位(并获得了当年的海因绘画奖)。

在她的画作中,杰德·法多朱蒂米的作品通常规模巨大,她将色彩、空间、线条和运动协调起来,以表达流畅的情感和对自我认知的追求。她对日常体验的解读反映了一种渴望更全面地理解身份和美感之间永恒交织的观念的动力。

法多朱蒂米运用 20 世纪绘画中的关键视觉元素,如网格、层次和不同的标记,营造出一种不断变化的感觉。她的作品可以让人联想到植物、微生物或海洋景观,但始终趋向抽象。艺术家将这些复杂的布置描述为“环境”,这些布置由多层油彩构成,有时会被油画棒的线条打断。法多朱蒂米还将服装元素(布料碎片、长袜和蝴蝶结的形状)与模糊的轮廓相结合,以反映流离失所的创伤。

法多朱蒂米从特定的地点、文化、物体和声音中汲取灵感,尤其是日本动漫、服装和配乐(从斯莱德学院毕业后,她曾前往日本,2016 年再次前往日本驻留,现在每年都会回日本几次)。写作也是她创作的关键——有时她用写作来帮助表达绘画的微妙之处;有时她采用更诗意的方式,将写作与视觉并列。对于法多朱蒂米来说,艺术家和作家的角色是她创作实践中同等重要的方面。


Born in 1993 in London, where she lives and works. She graduated with a BA from the Slade School of Art, London, in 2015, and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2017 (also receiving that year’s Hine Painting Prize). 

In her paintings, which are often monumental in scale, Jadé Fadojutimi orchestrates color, space, line, and movement in the service of fluid emotion and the quest for self-knowledge. She interprets everyday experience in ways that reflect a drive to understand more completely the perpetually intertwined ideas of identity and beauty.

Making use of key visual elements from twentieth-century painting such as grids, layers, and disparate marks, Fadojutimi conjures a sense of continual transformation. Her compositions can suggest plants, microbes, or marine landscapes, but edge consistently toward abstraction. Described by the artist as “environments,” these complex arrangements are built up with layers of oil paint, sometimes interrupted by lines of oil pastel. Fadojutimi also combines elements of clothing—swatches of fabric and the shapes of stockings and bows—with ambiguous outlines to reflect the trauma of displacement.

Fadojutimi draws inspiration from specific locations, cultures, objects, and sounds, especially Japanese anime, clothing, and soundtracks (she traveled to Japan after graduating from the Slade, then again for a residency in 2016, and now returns to the country several times a year). Writing, too, is key to her process—sometimes she uses it to help articulate the subtleties of her painting; at other times she positions it in parallel to the visual by adopting a more poetic approach. For Fadojutimi, her roles as artist and writer are equally important aspects of her creative practice.
